Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 44: More children and more pigs

Chutian bought Yunlai Village with money, but not from Xia Town, but from Yunlai Village. The village chief of Yunlai Village can take 50 gold from the warehouse of Yunlai Village, and has a job in Xia Town. The price was to abandon Yunlai Village, which became the third vassal village of Xia Town.

Yunlai Village has a population of 1,458, and its development direction is agriculture. There are three-level farmland, rice shops, wells, and first-level reservoirs. Chutian had already considered before choosing to attack Yunlai Village. He needed a vassal village specialized in grain production. Therefore, among the third-level villages near Xia Town, he specially selected Yunlai Village.

There are about 2,600 people in Xia Town, 2,100 in Xiaozhu Village, 550 in Shangbi Village, and 1,450 in Yunlai Village, with a total population of 6,700.

Population is the most important resource of "Lord". The more the population, the more tax revenue and the more troops you will have. You can quickly gain strength after a war.

Chu Tian was worried about the head of Yunlai Village. Instead, he hired an NPC internal affairs talent from Yunlai Village to manage the village, and the head of Yunlai Village went to work in Xia Town.

NPC internal affairs personnel can see loyalty, but players can't see loyalty, and it is too variable to directly appoint players as village chiefs. Unless it is a comrade-in-arms who shares life and death, or a subordinate who has served for many years, it is possible for Chutian to appoint them to manage one side of the people.

The conquest of Yunlai Village did not lose a single soldier or soldier. Chu Tian strolled around the farmland of Yunlai Village. The farmland of Yunlai Village was not a problem for 2,000 people to cultivate.

The strength of Yunlai Village is 50 first-order light infantry soldiers. Chutian did not increase the strength of Yunlai Village, so that Yunlai Village has more labor for farming.

Yunlai Village farms, Shangbi Village mines, and Xiaozhu Village makes money. As for the war, it is left to Xia Town. Xia Town has several barracks. As long as the labor of each village is moved to Xia Town, and the barracks in Xia Town are used for training, an army can be brought out soon.

Chutian class teacher returned to Xia Town. There were more than a dozen wounded soldiers in the secondary hospital in Xia Town, as well as the townspeople who came to see a doctor. Several doctors were busy helping patients with injuries.

The second-level hospital now has 5 junior doctors and 10 apprentices. Even so, they are in a hurry because of the sudden increase in wounded soldiers.

Wounded soldiers have a certain probability of death or disability due to wound infection, but most soldiers with minor injuries can return to the army.

"This town is more prosperous than my village, and it has a large population. It deserves to be the No. 1 territory of Langya Kingdom. It is correct not to choose resistance."

The head of Yunlai Village followed Chutian to Xia Town, and when he saw the prosperity of Xia Town, he couldn't help feeling emotional. Xia Town is not an existence that Yunlai Village can compete with. The population of Xia Town is almost twice that of Yunlai Village, not to mention that Xia Town also has vassal villages who can mobilize the bravery and troops.

The first thing Chutian did when he came back was to replenish the lost troops, dispatch a group of laborers from the vassal villages, and transfer to Xuzhou archers.

It takes time to recruit soldiers, and training will be required at the school grounds in the future. The time must be planned in advance. This is called raising soldiers.

Yunlai Village garrison 50, Shangbi Village garrison 50, Shuizhai garrison 40. Chutian implements the policy of "separation of soldiers and peasants", using all professional soldiers, and there are villagers serving as yamen in terms of public security.

Xiazhen now has only 40 cavalry, 40 Xuzhou archers, 80 elite infantry, a total of 160 professional soldiers.

Chutian transferred 50 laborers from Yunlai Village and Xiaozhu Village each, and trained 40 Xuzhou archers and 60 elite infantrymen.

In this way, there are 260 professional soldiers in Xia Town, plus 140 professional soldiers in the territory, a total of 400 professional soldiers.

The population of 6,700 supports 400 professional soldiers, including 40 war horses. This ratio is exaggerated.

After all, there is still not enough population.

Chu Tian asked Li Kui to write the notice on his behalf. Mainly, Chutian's calligraphy is crooked...

"As long as a family has more than two children in the territories under our jurisdiction, tax reductions can be made. For each year's newborns, the lord's government will also provide subsidies for safe delivery according to the situation. In addition, farmers are encouraged to raise more livestock. , to improve life, the lord's mansion will send pig experts, chicken experts, and fish experts to guide. The title of the notice reads: If you want to be rich, build roads first, and have more children and more pigs."

Li Kui was stunned when he heard the content of the notice that Chu Tian asked him to write.

This policy is really simple and crude, without any superfluous nonsense.

The more you have, the less tax you pay.

The lord's mansion will also intervene in population and livestock breeding.

"No need to polish, just post it."

Chutian thought about it, the positive impact of population growth in the future can offset the negative impact of current tax cuts. What Chutian is betting on is the future.

In the early stage, you can still use war to support the war. In the later stage, the competition is the comprehensive strength of population and territory.

And as the population increases, the expenditure of each household will also increase.

The per capita tax is less, but due to the increase in population and the promotion of consumption, the consumption tax has increased. With an increase and a decrease, perhaps the total tax revenue of the lord's palace will not decrease.

So a notice was posted on the bulletin board in Xia Town.

"Any literate person tell me what the notice posted by the government says?"

"Let me see... If you want to be rich~IndoMTL.com~ first build roads, have more children and raise pigs. As long as a family has three or more children, tax reductions can be made..."

"There is such a good thing?!"

Many eligible families suddenly cut their taxes and were overjoyed.

And people with only one or two children are a little jealous, tax cuts, a dream thing.

The increase in population, for each family, means an increase in the labor force of the family, an increase in the family's income, and at the same time it can cope with the military service of the government. For example, if there are three males in a household, and the government recruits one to take away one, then there are still two males who can work, and it will not end. Now, having more children can also reduce taxes and have safe birth subsidies.

"Also, if the family raises livestock, the government will provide talent guidance, and farmers who raise a lot of pigs will be rewarded with pig raising skill books."

The onlookers were in an uproar again.

Obviously, Chutian used the plundered wealth to revitalize the industry and promote economic development.

The population policy and breeding policy were quickly spread to Xiaozhu Village, Shangbi Village, and Yunlai Village through light cavalry.

So Xia Town and the three vassal villages began to implement new policies.

"Chu Tian is a smart person."

Xia Xia Liang, the village chief of Xiaozhu Village, was informed that, as a vassal, she could only implement policies according to the orders of the lord's palace. Of course, if there is dissatisfaction, she can also provide advice to Chutian.

Chutian encourages fertility, and the fertility rate in Xia Town will be extremely alarming in the future. Xiazhen’s private school’s policy of “halving one income and two by half” is also encouraging fertility.

"The world is bustling, and it's all for the benefit; the world is bustling, and it's all for the benefit. Since ancient times, deep feelings cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts."

After Chutian discovered that the policy of tax reduction for births was implemented, the people's hearts in Xiazhen rose again.
